F3 Resumes Drill Program Targeting A1 and B1 Shears
F3 Uranium Corp has resumed drilling on the PLN Property targeting the A1 and B1 shears. The program aims to explore new mineralized zones along the structural corridor, focusing on areas with significant faults and high-grade uranium potential. The company is utilizing new geological and geophysical models to identify high-priority drill targets for potential uranium mineralization. The ground gravity survey will provide additional insights into the A1 and B1 areas, enhancing the understanding of regional conductive corridors.
F3 Uranium Corp has mobilized drill crews and resumed drilling activities on the PLN Property, demonstrating commitment to exploration and potential resource expansion.
The company's focus on exploring new mineralized zones along the A1 and B1 structural corridor indicates a proactive approach towards identifying additional uranium deposits.
The development of new geological and geophysical models by the technical team reflects a strategic utilization of data to optimize drilling efforts and target high-grade mineralization zones.
The ground gravity survey over the PLN and Broach properties showcases a comprehensive approach to understanding the geological features and potential mineralization areas, highlighting the company's dedication to advanced exploration techniques.
The success of the drill program and the identification of potential mineralized zones are subject to exploration risks and uncertainties, including geological challenges and varying mineralization grades that may impact the economic viability of the project.
Resuming drilling activities may entail significant costs for F3 Uranium Corp, potentially affecting the company's financial position and cash flow, especially in the event of unexpected technical issues or adverse exploration results.
Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2024) - F3 Uranium Corp (TSXV: FUU) (OTCQB: FUUFF) ("F3" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that drill crews have mobilized to site, and drilling has resumed on the PLN Property. Two diamond drills will focus on exploration drilling to the south of the JR Zone for new mineralized zones along the ~5km long A1/B1 structural corridor.
The program will test new targets generated from the 30-hole winter drilling program along the A1 and B1 systems. Drilling will initially focus on the area where a significant reverse fault with vertical offset exceeding 100 meters, likely related to the Harrison Fault or the Harrison Fault itself, is interpreted to crosscut the main conductor system including the A1 and B1 shears (see NR dated April 16, 2024). High priority drill targets include both the A1 and B1 shear intersects with the large displacement reverse fault, the "nose" of the sandstone hosted and strongly graphitic basement wedge, as well as the area directly between the A1 and B1 shears as defined by new ground EM which is also highlighted by a resistivity anomaly. The A1 shear itself will continue to be targeted for additional mineralized zones similar to the high-grade JR Zone, starting with the area around PLN24-140 which was drilled within an 800m long segment along the A1 shear with no previous drilling and intersected the strongest downhole radioactivity outside of the JR Zone itself.
Sam Hartmann P.Geo, VP Exploration, commented:
"We have spent the last few weeks developing new geological and geophysical models, incorporating the wealth of data collected in drillholes and through geophysical inversions, and the F3 technical team is eager to resume the drill program with five drill holes already pre-cased from the end of the winter program. We see the potential for the PLN property, in particular the A1 and B1 conductor system, to host additional uranium mineralization based on structure and alteration. At the south end of A1, as well as at B1, new ground EM modeling has developed high priority targets in close association with the crosscutting fault - a reverse fault with a significant and favorable magnitude of vertical displacement, and we look forward to testing those structural confluences and the other new targets with the drill bit this spring and summer."
The ground gravity survey over the southwest sections of the PLN and Broach properties is set to resume later this week, surveying on land and infilling between areas that were surveyed from the lake ice this winter. This survey aims to add to the understanding of the A1 and B1 areas, in addition to other regional conductive corridors to the northeast and southwest of the A1/B1 corridor. Follow-up ground EM and Resistivity will be carried out over gravity targets as appropriate, to further define distinct drill targets.
